In 2021, Éditions du Brévail published a comprehensive work on the Chassepot rifle, but this book, a victim of its own success, sold out shortly after its release. Rather than reprinting it identically, the publisher Christian Méry preferred to wait to produce a new, updated version supplemented with unpublished elements. To do this, he called on the world of collectors and in particular Yves Denaclara, author of numerous studies on the subject, as well as the arms managers of our largest museums. We present to you the almost complete genesis of the Chassepot rifle, its description, its operation; as well as its ammunition and its shooting behavior. We have added new information on the tests with the presentation of weapons that were still unknown, special models such as the rifle for the African cavalry, carbines, muskets, theoretical weapons. We will also find information on the history of the war of 1870-71; as well as places of memory relating to it.
This new version contains around a hundred additional pages and more than 1200 photos, plans and documents.

 

384 pages and more than 1200 color photos, B&W and engravings.

Hardcover. Limited edition of 400 copies.
